Benefits of attending a local support group include communicating in a nurturing, non-judgmental
environment with others who have shared a common acoustic neuroma experience; sharing information on dealing
with specific problems, overcoming handicaps and reassuring others that better times lie ahead; educating and
informing each other about the latest acoustic neuroma topics of interest; and providing emotional support to all
patients, both pre- and post-treatment. This helps in reducing the isolation and loneliness that many acoustic neuroma patients feel.
